This thread has got me interested in collecting again. But I am moving back into comics. But am still interested in getting a box of 1994 Spider-man. Do let me know if you spot a good deal. The current RM500 per box is not so much of a deal.

Bagley has spoiled Spider-Man for every fan! ARGGGGGGHHHH BAGLEY!!!!!!!!!!

Hey megajim,

The passion never stops. I was lost & dismay for awhile when the comic stores stopped bringing in comic related cards. But its there somewhere there in your heart. Hahahaha... Still buying but the thrill of opening every pack that u bought & hoping beyond hope of getting that special card has long cease to exist.

I'm a comic collector (and still is) before the comic stores started to bring in trading cards & I got hooked. Trying to complete the basic set, search for insert or chase cards. Buying & trading from fellow collectors.

Bagley's run on Amazing titles was stupendous. But a box of cards for RM500 is definitely too much for u & for most card collectors.

Right now I am going to just hunt for higher end books. There is no comic shops anymore except in KL.

Cards are great but only certain sets are good and anything pre 1997 appeal to me. Thus my craze for that set. Bagley's USM really matured and got better. RM500 a box is just insane! Cards might be vintage but the market is slim for comic cards.

I think the newer sets are just as good or probably better but most trading card collectors lost their interest when the shop stopped bringing in new sets.

What they have left is a distance memory of it, of how great it used to be. That's why for people like u & me & most probably other collectors are stucked in the mid-90s. Cos that's when the card collecting was heightened but short lived.

Hope u'll get the Bagley's card sets soon.

The latest Marvel Greatest Heroes look fine. Artwork is good but that is about it.

I already have the entire set 94 Spidey set including the gold webs but just itching to get a box. Dont know why.

Its the thrill of opening packs man. That's what it is! Hahaha... Good for you..

When I'm buying online for that missing cards, to fill in gap for mostly chase cards, I get excited. Waiting for the cards to arrive, I get excited. Opening the envelope when the cards arrive, I get excited. Then few hours later, its just another card kept safe from natural & humanly harm.

But hey, opening packs from boxes is sure will get any collector excited.

Sometimes, I get worried just in case the card would lost its way.

My experience is the same. My order didn't arrive to my house once. Its not an expensive card but I got frustrated never the less. Inform the Seller & he said he'll send another one but the results was the same.

Its either he didn't send a replacement or I did had a double stroke of bad luck.
